GPM - Web Browser

Web browsers are the main gateways to the information superhighway. Packed with necessary features, you are able to save your favorite pages to quickly access them when needed. Various specialized applications can be used, one of which being GPM – Web Browser.

Running the application brings up a rather compact main window. Unfortunately, as much as you stretch the borders, no changes are made.

The upper toolbar is fitted with large navigation buttons which occupy precious space. Luckily, navigation speed only depends on your Internet connection type, with the possibility to load any given page almost instantly.

Unfortunately, usability only stretches as far as visiting web pages, with little else integrated. Even this can be a pain, seeing how you must first click a button in order to gain access to the address field.

Opening up multiple web pages requires you to make use of more instances of the application, due to unimplemented tab support. However, you might end up with a surprisingly high amount of system resources used in this situation, due to the poor design.

Managing frequently accessed pages is also an issue, because there is no option that allows you to store and organize favorites, nor have a homepage set to greet you when the application is launched.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that GPM – Web Browser is a poor choice in case you decide to try something new. The only feature worth mentioning is the decent speed at which it opens pages, but even doing so can be a pain. It's barely at the beginning of an extremely long road to being a practical application.
